Daily Report

On Tuesday it was a winter wonderland for our area with heavy lake effect snow and we picked up roughly 18 inches here at the shop, parts of the Tug Hill got even higher amounts. Last night and early this morning we picked up roughly another foot of lake effect snow. With warmer temperatures in the upcoming forecast it's no surprise the dam release has been increased. For those anglers who are fly fishing, dead drifting or indicator fishing with egg patterns as well as swinging streamers with sinking leaders have all produced results.
